A countdown clock was unveiled on Thursday (April 7) at the centre of Łódź in Poland to mark 100 days to go until the 2022 European Universities Games.

Top representatives of the main partners of the event - Łódź University of Technology (TUL), University Sports Association of Poland (AZS), the City of Łódź and European University Sports Association (EUSA) - attended the event.

The 2022 European Universities Games, scheduled to be held from July 17 to 30, will begin with an Opening Ceremony at the Atlas Arena.

Students from European universities have until April 15 to register for the event.

"Sport deserves to be experienced, so that these positive emotions flow to us, but also from us," said Adam Kszczot, an indoor world champion over 800 metres.

"Big events attract these emotions like a magnet.

"If we want to take such a dose of endorphins, we cannot be missing here - both as athletes and fans."

The EUSA had also sent a supervision commission and office team to Łódź to keep a tab on the progress and preparations ahead of the Games.

Dominik Lezanski, on behalf of the Organising Committee, welcomed the delegation led by EUSA President Adam Roczek and secretary general Matjaz Pecovnik.

The team went through the main areas of the organisation, reviewed the venues, sports, cultural and educational programme during their three-day stay.
